1. Serve Lemon Meringue Pie Cupcakes

This is a delicious dessert that you can offer your guests at the beginning of the party.

Bake some cupcakes and cover them with a cream or frosting prepared from lemon zest, sugar, and egg whites to get the yellow color.

Check out the video below for an easy recipe:

2. Make This Fingerprint Guestbook

Use lemons to make each guest feel like part of the family by having them leave their fingerprint on a piece of paper or printable fingerprint cards.

You can put the fingerprints in a frame and use them as decoration around your house.

You can also grab this printable and let your guests turn their fingerprints into beautiful leaves on a lemon tree.

FAQs

What is best theme for a bridal shower?

There are plenty of really good themes that you can use for a bridal shower. Some of the best ones include nautical, beach, backyard, tea party, Paris, and an all-white party.
The choice really depends on your own preference and which colors suit your personality best.

Which color is best for bridal shower?

Since a bridal shower is supposed to be a fun event in every woman’s life, it’s best that you pick out bright celebratory colors for your shower. These colors include neutrals, florals, pastels, and bright hues. 
But you can also go with an all-white or all-black color for your bridal shower, if you want it to match your wedding theme.
